The Cedarhurst Cut-off was a rail line owned and operated by the Long Island Rail Road in the U.S. state of New York.The line split from the LIRR's Main Line at Rockaway Junction (near Hollis) and ran south via Springfield Gardens and Cedarhurst and on to Far Rockaway.
The term "cutoff" refers to the fact that the new line cuts off distance (and/or time) and is, therefore, shorter distance-wise (or time-wise) than the old line. This is often the case, although the primary reason for building the cutoff may be to create a line with a better gradient profile, or other desirable features usually related to efficiency of operation that are lacking in the old ...
In a steam engine, cutoff is the point in the piston stroke at which the inlet valve is closed. On a steam locomotive, the cutoff is controlled by the reversing gear.. The point at which the inlet valve closes and stops the entry of steam into the cylinder from the boiler plays a crucial role in the control of a steam engine.
The Montauk Cutoff was first proposed in early 1906 [7] and received a charter for construction in 1907, [8] [9] and was opened in July 1910 at a cost of $1,000,000 (equivalent to $32,700,000 in 2023). [10]

In electronics, cutoff frequency or corner frequency is the frequency either above or below which the power output of a circuit, such as a line, amplifier, or electronic filter has fallen to a given proportion of the power in the passband.
